paying taxes so the county or state can maintain roads so people can accesses their property.....is no different than paying into a hoa to maintain roads in a rural area....but some people like and try to feel superior to others....bob
Except the county doesn't tell me what kind of roof I have to put on my house when this one needs replaced, or that I can't have the dumpster out front of the shed so the truck can pick it up once a month or so, or where I can put my chicken Gulag, or that I can't have El Feo the Gorgeous rooster out there fertilizing eggs like nature intended, or that I can't park my tractor where the neighbots can see it from the road.............and so on and so on.
I'd rather pay our county and have the snowplow come out when needed and not have them in a whole lot of the rest of our business.
I was talking about roads.....you are talking about different things.....you have got to watch out buying without some covenants and buying with to much covenants....bob
Yeah, if roads were the only issue and there were "good neighbors" on the road being maintained I'd have no issue with a fee to maintain it.
The problem, in the experience of some friends with those type agreements, some folks are deadbeats and still use the road. And if it gets rutted they just drive around the ruts and make new ones outside the boundaries of the road.
My apologies, but the title of the thread relates to HOAs, of which many contain a good portion, and sometimes more, of the restrictions of which I posted. I personally have never run across one titled "HOA" that ONLY deals with a road.
If you live in an area that has a HOA that only concerns itself with your access roads, you're a lucky man.
